• Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture

  Tchaikovsky gives you all the passion and drama of Shakespeare’s two young lovers, as the New Jersey Symphony becomes a storyteller in real time.

• Sergei Prokofiev Selections from Romeo and Juliet

  Considered too difficult, even undanceable at its unveiling, Prokofiev’s ballet with scene after scene of strikingly original music soon became the treasure of every ballet house the world over.
